Emerging Talent Competition update

January 30, 2013

We’re pleased to report that more than 8,000 entries were submitted to our 2013 Emerging Talent Competition during the week-long entry period. Big thanks to all the acts who’ve put their music forward.

The entries have now been divided into playlists and sent to our blogger judges, who will each pick their three favourite songs to make up the longlist. The longlist will then be whittled down to a shortlist of eight artists by judges including Glastonbury organisers Michael and Emily Eavis, before the live finals in Pilton in April decides the winning act.

Here’s a list of the music blogs which will be judging the music. We heartily recommend that you check them out.
